SOS Inventory is the natural choice for small manufacturers that already run their books in QuickBooks Online. Every plan includes assemblies with unlimited BOM levels, auto-build on shipments, purchase orders generated from stock levels and transaction-level QuickBooks sync covering classes, properties and sales taxes. Companion costs $74.95 a month with 2 users and one location. Plus at $144.95 adds unlimited locations, serial and lot numbers, bin tracking, barcoding and contract manufacturing. Real production control sits on Pro at $199.95 a month with 5 users, which adds work orders, work centers, WIP, job tracking and job cost accounting, labor and overhead tracking, and process and variable-yield manufacturing. Extra users cost $25 a month each on any plan. SOS lacks the capacity scheduling and MPS found in MRPeasy and Odoo, so it fits assemblers and light manufacturers better than plants with complex routings.
Who it is for
QuickBooks Online users that build assemblies and want manufacturing without leaving their accounting system.
